Aw, Sunny, ya big galoot. Seriously, though you do get to rename him. But I like Sunny for the MC. He looks like a Sunny. He's a teenage boy in a Greek God's body. He's just trying to find his mom, of whom there are several contenders. They're all supermodels, of course. And just like when two very attractive people meet, they get interested in each other. But Sunny actually earns his harem, by doing good deeds. He's likeable, that big, dumb friend who's strong as an ox but wouldn't hurt a fly. He's a Pixar character.
I have to say, looks matter with these things, and I love the look of the women in this VN. That is what brings me back. The typical DAZ assets have been toyed with just enough to make them both different and striking, like that actress in the TV chess series - you know the one I mean.
It's a VN with obscure choices and minigame elements, and there's not enough complexity to reward reply, so use a mod. There's sound and music as well, but I find that hit or miss with VNs.
The renders are a real mixed bag. In general the quality is good, not great. There are continuity issues, and lots of static images, like a person's face while they're talking on the phone. I have to say I find the sex scenes somewhat... dull. I mean, if I had the talent and the graphics card, I'd do a lot more with these beautiful women than the dev does. To me, the sex scenes are conventional, but maybe I'm jaded by too many VNs?
On the other hand, there are some sequences that are sheer, creative brilliance. The one I come back to, repeatedly, is where Sunny meets the three women at the airport, and he greets each one in turn in a different way, dancing, embracing, dipping. It's dynamic and joyous and really captures the giddy pleasure of meeting someone you love after a long absence.
The plot really goes all over the place. I think it's driven by the need is to create scenarios for Sunny to save the day, so there are flashbacks and secrets and mafia and all sorts of things like that.
Speaking of mafia, where does this game take place? It looks like North America, but people talk like it's Italy, and I think some of the supermodel-mothers are from Eastern Europe. All very international.
Dialogue is a problem. I hate to criticize non-native English in these things. It's too easy to do, and the last thing I want is for talented devs to become dispirited just because English isn't their native language. But good dialogue is what makes the reader actually read the VN as opposed to just click-thru to the sex scenes. The dialogue here is illusion-breaking, like that uncanny, bad movie subtitle English we've all seen. Yeah, it's bad. This is unfortunate, because there is a lot of affection in this VN. People have sex because they actually like, even love each other, which is nice. I just wish it sounded more natural.
